During the last decade Richard has focussed on broadening JLL’s capital markets business to offer bespoke financial advice in addition to the firm’s strengths in advising clients in the acquisition and sale of real estate assets. In 2008, Richard took up responsibility for capital markets across EMEA and joined the EMEA Management Board in 2014. He started his current role in January 2017.
